Jan­u­ary through April is when we plant our seeds for the year by dis­play­ing our prod­uct for the mar­ket in trade shows. I’ve par­tic­i­pat­ed in these trade shows for 17 years now in the ICF indus­try and it has always been the same old thing, but this year was notably dif­fer­ent.

ICF’s ben­e­fits are mas­sive, rang­ing from cost sav­ings to dura­bil­i­ty, high qual­i­ty and easy instal­la­tion. If you want to learn how to save mon­ey on your next project, keep read­ing.

Com­mer­cial con­trac­tors and their clients are show­ing a greater inter­est in design­ing build­ings that can stand strong dur­ing nat­ur­al dis­as­ters. In their quest for for­ti­fied mate­ri­als, more of them are turn­ing to ICF con­struc­tion.

How do you improve an Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Form wall that already out-per­forms most wall sys­tems in all cli­mates? You move the con­crete mass toward the liv­ing side of the wall.

Con­crete mason­ry units (CMU) and insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) walls have sev­er­al fea­tures in com­mon: ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, dura­bil­i­ty, and good indoor envi­ron­men­tal qual­i­ty (IEQ). How­ev­er, ICF is quick­er and eas­i­er to install com­pared to CMU, which saves time and mon­ey.
